Thanks, Richard, for the reply.
So, based on your reply, my natural new question is... "why would Maxima not find the factorization?" or "what needs to be loaded so that Maxima finds the factorization?"
Thanks, and best regards,
Mark

So, as you can see, the cholesky function is not loaded. This is confirmed by the simple example I introduced above:
(%i3) cholesky(matrix([1, p12, p13], [p12, 1, p23], [p13, p23, 1]));
Unable to find the Cholesky factorization
-- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
Actually, what this shows is that the cholesky function IS loaded, since it gives an error message.
It was unable to find the factorization though. I have not looked at your matrix at all.
